Best Answer

Ivory can only come from dead animals.

Some such animals are killed purely for their ivory.

Some people trade - legally - in ivory 'harvested' before the trade became illegal.

Because of that, it can sometimes be claimed that a person thought that what they were buying came from before the ban.

A total ban on the trade would give people no excuse.

Elephants (and other animals) are dying just because some people want pretty ornaments! That's disgusting.

Why do people want large bone in elephants?

What people want is the tusks, rather than the internal skeleton. Elephant tusks are made of a particularly useful type of bone called ivory. Prior to the invention of plastic, ivory was the best material for a wide variety of uses, from billiard balls to piano keys. People sometimes still metaphorically refer to playing a piano as "tickling the ivory". All made possible by elephants.
